More than just a fun white-water rafting trip, this tour on the Savegre River includes a fully-narrated drive to the put-in location for an opportunity to learn about local wildlife. Plus, in the middle of running Class II and III rapids with a guide, you stop to visit the tucked-away waterfall—chances are you’ll be the only people there.

Round trip transportation is provided and you will be picked up at your hotel to drive 1 hour and 20 minutes to the Savegre River. The road trip to the rafting site offers picturesque views of African palm plantations, little towns, small rivers and jungle. Your guide will gladly tell you all about the things you see along the way. Upon arriving at the put in spot, you will receive a safety talk and an opportunity to practice before getting into the river. The rafts in this Manuel Antonio tour are built for 6 passengers and guides will travel in kayaks alongside you to ensure your safety. Savegre River delivers class 3 rapids and is filled with bends and turns of excitement. You will spend approximately 2 1⁄2 hours in the raft taming the rapids, taking occasional stops to rest and admire some of the region’s beautiful flora and fauna. Towards the end of this Manuel Antonio rafting tour, the waters become calm and easy, allowing you to take a closer look at birds flying overhead and the colorful vegetation. Your drive back to base camp will be much shorter, about 30 minutes, where you can change your clothes and have a delicious homemade meal. This river boasts class 3 rapids all year long, during the dry season it can also provide some class 2 rapids. Children must be at least 8 years old.
